Plans

A shadow falls by your eyes
and I can't see to make my next move so
I lie beside you and we sleep for hours and hours
The hardest part of my day has been
leaving your side

We were never sure of anything
except that tomorrow held
the sweetest mysteries

Hide under the sheets
for what seems like days
We won't miss the calls coming in
we'll order-in and think it's sweet to be invisible

One thing I know is
we'll never grow tired of being alone together

We were never sure of anything
except that tomorrow held
the sweetest mysteries

so throw away your plans, stay with me
tell me that today is ours
throw away your plans, stay with me
tell me that the day is ours
just throw away your plans.

disconnect/protect

Blade, blatant calamity
nondescript hypocrisy
sink into your capacity
with fine lines drawn in gravity
you have walls
you have knives
that you use to cut through
all of your buried abuse

you have it all
tight in your hand
and you disconnect to protect
your head lies deep in the sand

pain, drink down the remedy
spilled on your dress
bound for catastrophe
what a mess, what a mess
run, like you have never run
feel your legs leap in motion towards the escape
you can't escape
when you're clinging to the cause of these mistakes

you have it all
tight in your hand
and you disconnect to protect
your head lies deep in the sand

Make Me.

Read you like a book
Filled with misspellings and still some truths
Break apart the core of my being
and tell me that you just want to look

Something tells me you don't believe in anything
that you can't see or touch
You don't believe in anything
anything that you can see
besides oxygen and gravity

make me believe
make me breathe
take me to the brightest light and make me see
make me dream
so that we
can be
happy

something tells me you don't believe in anything
that you can't see or touch
You don't believe in anything
breaks my heart to hear you speak
but I can't leave you behind

arrogance and ignorance
disguised as intellectuality
scars and things written in stone
won't save you from your own depravity

something tells me you won't believe anything I say
so lets just walk away from this
if you don't believe in anything
anything in this world
except me
If you'd just accept me
than we'll be fine.

Sleeping Right

You sit on the edge of the bed, I'm driving from Coast to Coast

Waiting for the slightest sound to make your ears turn and eyes stop at once

The deepened senses that you have

Are the consequences of holding back

You've been awake for days on end, You couldn't sleep if you wanted to


You're scared stiff of the possibilities that

My hands might be resting on someone else back

And my affection is spent on a lonely girl that doesn't mean a thing in this world to me


You won't be sleeping right tonight without me by your side

you lay awake wondering if I have found somebody else

you won't be sleeping right tonight without me by your side

your breaths only contest the silence in this room to night


You need to breathe in, you need to breathe out

Your heart should rest assured and sleep without

The doubtful tendencies that come alive in you

should be put to bed, never to be awoken again


You won't be sleeping right tonight without me by your side

you lay awake wondering if I have found somebody else

you won't be sleeping right tonight without me by your side

your breaths only contest the silence in this room to night

A Life Made Up in My Head

quickly passing by a glance of what perfection is in my mind
in the moment- i see petals getting trampled
as you walk down the aisle
quickly asking for your name before you get away
but despite all clever words, my line is cast and catch is lost in the waves

and i know I'll see you again
in the heart of a lover is the closest friend
breathe in, out and in again
breathe you in

I've been looking for that face in every face that see
and again my mind is wandering to the places we'd meet
the bench at the end of a long winding path
were we kiss and you say words you don't want to take back
quickly asking for your name before you get away
but despite all clever words, my line is cast and catch is lost in the waves
and i know I'll see you again
in the heart of a lover is the closest friend
breathe in, out and in again
breathe you in

quickly asking for your name before you get away
but despite all clever words, my line is cast and catch is lost in the waves
still I hold on to hope
my casting rope is leading farther from whats real
I'll never be satisfied, only be occupied
looking for a girl from a glance and a life made up in my head

Sleeping Hearts

we sleep alone in separate beds

and we only rely on instincts instead

of our hearts, they sleep alone with us

when there's no one to love

then its easy to give up



you can love me

I can be your everything

you can take control of my heart

just by listening

you can be happy

you could be happy again

I'll do better from here on in


misunderstanding, are you listening?

come on now, lets work this out

I'm tired of the arguments

they repeat like a needle that's stuck in one place

exhausting all the common phrases

and character words that rearrange

the way that you feel about me

when our mouths are at war our hearts stay asleep

its easier to stay asleep than to live out the scenes from your bad dreams


you can love me


I can be your everything

you can take control of my heart


just by listening

you can be happy


you could be happy again

I'll do better from here on in

We Collide

This road is getting trampled under my feet
We've walked it up and down, a thousand summer nights
In our future I see something happening
this is a place that we could go and always be happy

Stay with me awhile
If you have to go, I'll understand why
But if you wouldn't mind
Could you leave behind
A ghost
To haunt me till I die?

Stay inside
We collide
Your soul, my soul... They meet and find
There's so much undiscovered
But I've got the time to

Stay with me awhile
If you have to go, I'll understand why
But if you wouldn't mind
Could you leave behind
A ghost
To haunt me till I die?

Stay inside
We collide
